Expert Notes

FAB is Autobrite Direct's high foaming upholstery cleaner and stain pre-spotter, supplied in a 500ml bottle with a foaming trigger. It covers most of a car interior: carpets, fabric seats, roof linings, door cards, dashboards and plastic trims, plus fabric wheel arch liners outside. It is particularly aimed at water marks on fabric seats and nicotine staining on roof linings, and it dilutes up to 10:1 for lighter jobs. Work it in with a soft interior brush or upholstery sponge, lift the foam with microfibre towels, and keep fabrics damp rather than soaked. Pair it with a vacuum, a wet vac for carpets and a satin plastic dressing to finish. Wear eye protection when handling the concentrate.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Fabric seats
  • Carpets and mats
  • Roof linings
  • Door cards
  • Dashboards
  • Interior plastic trims
  • Fabric wheel arch liners

Caution: Do not oversaturate fabrics or roof linings, and wear eye protection, as the concentrate can cause serious eye damage.

How To Use

Application

  1. Vacuum the area first to remove loose dirt and debris.
  2. Use it neat for heavy soiling, or dilute up to 10:1 for lighter cleaning.
  3. On hard surfaces with light soiling, simply spray and wipe with a microfibre towel.
  4. For textured plastics, spray, work in with a soft detailing brush and wipe away the foam.
  5. For light marks on fabric, spray onto a microfibre towel and wipe firmly in one direction.
  6. For heavier soiling on fabrics and carpets, spray directly and agitate with a brush or upholstery sponge until it foams, then lift the dirt with a microfibre towel.

Aftercare

  1. Pat fabrics dry with a fresh, clean microfibre towel.
  2. On heavily soiled fabric, blot with a clean damp cloth to remove any remaining residue.
  3. If fabric has become too wet, extract the excess moisture with a wet vac.
  4. Leave the interior ventilated until the fabrics are fully dry.
  5. Dress cleaned plastics with a satin interior dressing for a refreshed finish.

Top Tip: Test on a hidden area of fabric first and build up gradually rather than soaking the surface.

Glass Care, Wash and Paint Correction

Crystal Glass Cleaner has been part of the Autobrite Direct range since 2005 and, according to the brand, was one of the first products it developed. Its high flash-off formula is designed to be sprayed, wiped and buffed, and the brand describes it as safe for all glass, mirrors and window tints. For heavier contamination, Clear View Glass Polish removes bug splatter, grease, fallout and stubborn stains from glass, and contains no silicones or waxes.

On the wash side, Autobrite Direct describes Citrus Wash as a powerful yet gentle pre-wash and all-purpose cleaner infused with citrus oil, diluted to suit anything from light cleaning to degreasing. BriteGel is a sticky, non-acidic wheel cleaning gel that clings to the wheel and tyre with less run-off, and Ceramic Shield Magiseal is a water-based, SiO2 infused coating that can be applied through a foam lance or with a trigger sprayer.

For paint correction, the Correct It range pairs compounds and polishes with dedicated pads. The brand describes Enrich as a medium machine polishing compound that removes car wash scratches, swirl marks and light oxidation, and as a one-step cut and finish compound for most paint finishes.
